The best of Pilanersberg!!!
As a couple we felt being at home as we had a blessed 3 nights Easter Holiday stay at Shepherd’s Tree Game Lodge and definitely it is treasured in our hearts as one of the best places in Pilanesberg. It is a perfect place to disconnect with noisy city life and reconnect nature. We blessed to have a warm and family member-like, experienced and knowledgeable ranger in the name of Darryn. It was astonishing to be in company of Darryn who taught us to sooth ourselves in the morning callings of the Pilensburg inhabitants whilst watching the beautiful African sunrise. Through his natural instinct and experience, we had close encounters with a lot of animals inclusive of cheaters, many rhinos with babies, lions, elephants, etc.
The kitchen and restaurant personnel were really at the top of their game. Our Saturday’s braai around a bonfire with the entertainment of local cultural performances turned to be a feast for the kings. Our game drives team including our guiding ranger Darryn were on one table, where we chatted, and shared stories and jokes.
Thanks to the beautiful and nice ladies Mary and Maserame for their magical hands which melted away our stresses during the full body and facial massages at Amani African Spa of the game lodge.
Our room was luxurious. All Shepherd’s personnel were friendly.
Advise to those addicted to social networks, leave your gadgets at home as network and especially Wi-Fi is scarcely available due to Lodge location.
Definitely, one day we will go back!!!
all expectations exceeded!
Outstanding travel value. We travel a lot but can't think of a more memorable trip value. In just 6 half day drives we saw all of the big 5 and the white lions and got to
spend a night in the tree house.

Amazing holiday in the bush
We had a fantastic family holiday at Kapama River Lodge.
It is a child friendly resort which went out of the way to accommodate us from the allocation of rooms, cuisine and game drives
It was a great outing. Unfortunately we did not see all of the big five but the the bush outdoors made up for that. We also had a flat tyre on one of the drives but was quickly repaired with the assistance of our plus another ranger...didn't quite get his name.
Great service all round from Joe (reception), Bongi (Restuarant), Zaan(Ranger), Moses (Tracker).
Definitely worth an experience .

South Africa trip
My contact person at Kruger.com (Andy Saidy) was extremely helpful in finding us a terrific location, Thornybush Waterside, for a 3 day Safari experience. I would definitely seek out his assistance again.

A thoroughly enjoyable experience.
The bookings and communications were excellent.
Ndumo is a beautiful old style game reserve. The accommodation is comfortable though a little run down. Th guides are incredibly knowlegable about the birds and trees.
The safari tents at Mkuze were stunning and we were surprised that they weren't full over Easter. With a little innovative marketing and some minimal upgrades, much more could be made of this camp.

Totally incredible
Adelle Bell was so helpful from day one of our contact. Me & my husband were travelling with our two sons aged 9 and 12 and I gave her an outline of the type of trip i was looking for and our requirements as well as budget. Boy did she deliver on her recommendations. We stayed at Kapama River lodge for 2 nights and Kapama Southern for 2 nights largely because neither could take us for the 4 nights that i wanted. Initially i wasn't keen on having to go to 2 different places but actually it worked out perfectly and was lovely to experience 2 very different camps. i can't say enough good things about the Kapama reserve - the drives were amazing and we saw everything, the smell of the bush, the animals, the weather, the place, people and overall experience, it was truly overwhelming and we didnt' want to leave. Thank you so much i will definately recommend you to others and we will defo be back.
satisfactory but not excellent
communications before the trip were somehow slow, never complete and the cost turned out about 800 Euros more than expected for the following reasons:
1. I had to pay for the drop off of the rented car in a different town. Your agent new from the start it was to be in a different town, he should have told me immediately that his price did not include it.
2. Only when I was due to pay I was told that paying by credit card would cost me 2.5% more . Not providing proper i nformation is very close to lying.
3. The exhange rate used in quotions was way below reality.
I am happy to say that other than that there were no major surprises and the hotels were fine.
Fantastic trip to SA
I had great help from Clive. He helped me plan and booked the whole 14 day trip for us, from Johannesburg - Kruger Park, flight, car rentals and hotels. He did a fantastic job and I will recommend him to friends who plan on SA. Thanks!

Met my expectations
The travel consultant provided consistent communication and responded to our questions and requests in a timely manner. The safari was professionally managed and the lodging met my expectations. The food provided at Tydon Safari Camp was great and they accommodated my request for vegetarian meals. I felt completely safe and learned a great deal from the well-trained and friendly guides.

Very attentive and helpful with finding the type of camp I wanted
I was looking on line at various Safari Camps in Kruger National Park. The choice was a bit overwhelming and I was very happy when Afritrip Group stepped in to help. I described the type of environment I was looking for (tented camp, limited guests, limited electricity etc)....and they found me Hamiltons. It was great and Andy was especially helpful. Many thanks.
